Indeed the Slytherin was correct as the Hufflepuff broke it with a statement.

“Only one sickle?” This was his attempt at a joke. “Now, if it would have been a sickle per thought, that would have been something.” Because Aryan had a ton of them chasing around in his head. “Wonder how that saying came by though. The ‘sickle for your thoughts’ I mean.”

The boy was quite babbling to avoid talking about the serious conversation which he knew Emma wanted to have.

She didn't expect him to open up immediately. Emma wasn't naive enough about slytherins to know they were often more introspective. She was however, optimistic enough, to believe that through kindness, just maybe she'd get a sliver. A sliver was all that was needed to wedge herself and show that she could be trusted.

Emma smiled and shook her head. "Okay, fine, I'll give you two," she grinned over at him. "It might actually have started with it being a knut, but personally I think a sickle sounds better and more generous. I'd say a galleon, but I'm not my parents." Aka, they'd had years to establish their wealth and while technically she wasn't poor, if it was considered her money only, she wasn't wealthy.

"You're diffusing though." She stopped walking to look over at her friend, seriously.
